Washington Letter. ^rom our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Dec. 9, 1895. Tho ^oldest political combine ever formed iu this county is that dominated by Senator Quay, Boss Platt find Speaker Read, ft is out for every,thing in sight. Its first victory was the election of the house officers, but it wasn’t satisfied to therely name the men who filled the named offices of the house; it also insists upon naming every subordinate employed by them. Eyery day men who were never before seen by the new clerk, doorkeeper and sergent-at arms of the house present -themselves as their subordinates and are sworn In, after exhibiting the o. k. of the combine. That cotnbiue will also control the make-up of the house committees, and is working hard to get its grip on the senate commi^ees, but that is more difficult as many influential republican senators are bitterly opposed to the combine. It also has another difficult job on hand in its • efforts to control the republican I natioual committee, which meets here tomorrow to name the time and place for holding the republican natioual convention. Although McKinley and Reed are iu a deal to preveut Harrison's nomination, that does not prevent McKinley’s friends coming here in force to fight the combine’s attempt to control the national committee. Of course the ultimate object of the Quay-Platt-Reed combine is the nomination of Reed for President. Much nonsense, some of it utterly idiotic, has been written because President Cleveland was absent from Washington when Lord Salisbury’s answer to Secretary Olney’s note of

last July, asking whether England intended to arbitrate its boundry dispute with Venezuela, and notifying England that this country would not tolerate the forcible seizure of territory claimed by Venezuela, arrived. Stripped of all verbiage, here are the facts: President Cleveland knew the uature of the answer; he also knew that it was useless to send a special message to Congress with that answer until the house had its committees, therefore he concluded to spend the time out duck hunting instead of waiting in Washington. If anybody is blamed it ought to be Speaker Heed for uot announcing the house committees. Although every effort is being made to keep it quiet it is well know u in Washington that there is a bitter fight raging between the two factions which go to make up the forty-two republican metpabers of the senate. Nominally/these factions are known us the old aud the uew senators aud the apparent object of the fight is to obtaiu proper recognition of the new senators, but in reality it is a fight between the East and West, the gold and silver republicagp. Up to date the silver men seeni to be a little ahead but that assumption is based upon the sincerity of Senator Chandler, ofNew Hampshire, who holds the balance of power In the caucus committee which is making up a list to fill the vacancies on senate committees, and who has been loud in professions of friendship for silver. Threats are being made of a revolt eu the part of the silver senators if they do not get what they think they are entitled to at the hands of that committee. Should this revolt actually take place, Senator Teller would be the Western candidate for president | pro tern of the senate. The democratic senators have agreed to allow the republicans to organize the senate if they can agree among themselves to a sufficient extent to do so. =- Judge Corcoran of Boston, who is chairmau of the democratic state committee of Massachusetts has been spendiug several days in Washington. He doesen’t regard the presidential fight as already won, by any means. He said: »“The election of ^96 is a long way off aud nothing can be determined until the candidates are named aud the issues of the campaign develops. It will not be difficult for the democratic party to find a strong candidate. We New Englauders do not take the third-term talk seriously, but we do believe that the East can

- •- — -f--—s and will present some very strong j names at the national convention. To my mind Whitney is a strong man and Olney is another. I think that they are^tlve leading men in the East, but it is difficult at this time to say which is the best to make the race.” A movement is on toot to hold a joint caucus of democratic senators and representatives for the purpose of trying to harmonize existing differences iu democratic ranks aud to agree upon some line of policy to be followed in both house and senate during the present session of congress. Representative Stallings of Alabama, who is one of the leaders of this movement, says; “There is really only one question regarding which the democrats are badly divided. That is the money question, and if we can reach some satisfactory agreement by|,which it may be eliminated from our discussions for the present, there is no reason why we should not get together aud present a sold front to the republicans. I am in favor of free-coinage, but I do pot believe the discussiou of that one questiou can advance the cause of silver now,^ while its disorganizing effect is extremely hurtful to the party and to the South. I would be in favor—if a conference of the whole party in congress can be arrauged—of having a committee appointed to confer with the president aud Secretary Carlisle regarding the steps necessary to secure a degree of harmony and establish a policy upon which we can all unite.”
